  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Ok, I'll admit it--I am almost giddy at the return of this simple, but wonderful plugin. I don't remember which system upgrade broke the previous version, but I have SO missed having the ability to view Word documents within Safari. Especially since a website I need to visit fairly frequently for work insists on posting their daily schedule in Word format--and even with Quick Look, it was still a pain-in-the-a$$ to have to download the document first every time. And then there are the sites that offer forms and templates in Word format--now I can look first and decide which to download. I'm so happy to have this back, I would send the developer some money if there were a donate button somewhere. But in the meantime, thank you so much.

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I emailed the developer asking for kiosk support in his word plug-in and within a day I was testing it, and now it is released to the public. Couldn't ask for better support then this. Thanks, -Rhon

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />this is really quite slick. worked perfectly in safari from the git, installed in /library/internet plug-ins -- works in mozilla firebird 1.4a now that i have installed in ~/library/internet plug-ins. can't get it to work with mozilla 1.6a at all, but since safari's my main browser i don't really care.

• Great! Can Mail.app do this?

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Absolutely wonderful! I'm wondering whether one can have such a plugin available for Mail.app? As it is, I can drag .doc attachments from an email into TextEdit, or Safari now as well. If a plugin can do this for Safari, then couldn't such a plugin render the doc in Mail.app directly? Thanks! -Gene

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Contrary to Schubert's statement, it works fine with the latest Mozilla build. It's nice not to have to fire up OpenOffice.org (or even Textedit to view a small .doc file!

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Thank you for that great plug-in which is just perfect as an idea. However it still needs some work: it should display images and it should be able to display tables correctly.

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This plugin is beautiful! I couldn't live without the PDF Browser Plugin, but i never even considered a Word plugin. Great idea! Still needs scroll wheel support, though, and embedded pictures won't load.
